Definitions
- the present invention relates to an auxiliary power transfer device for an electric vehicle and more particularly to an auxiliary mounted pulley source device powered by one or more wheels of an electric vehicle powered solely by batteries are well known and the electric vehicle whose drive systems are powered solely by battery sources are well known. Combining the two sources of energy to drive an electric vehicle has heretofore been deemed practical.
- an electric vehicle comprising a primary electric motor powered by a primary battery bank source with electrical energy.
- the primary motor being driven and connected to one or more plurality of ground engagement wheels mounted on the electric vehicle; an auxiliary device driven and connected to one or more of the ground engagement wheels; a pulley energy collecting device mounted on the electric vehicle for connecting to the wheels rotating energy; the pulley energy collecting device included as an energy supply mechanism routing energy collected from the rear wheel inner rim edge.
- the energy supply device comprises a battery bank source and an electrically conductive cable connected to the primary motor collecting device and delivering energy to one or more of the ground engagement wheels.
- the energy supply device further comprise connections between the two alternator devices and receives energy from the wheel driven pulley sending an electrically conductive cable to the battery bank source.
- the primary battery bank source and the primary electric vehicle motor devices will alternately be driven and or connected electrically to a common ground engagement wheel.
- the primary electric vehicle motor device typically includes an energy regenerator connected to the battery bank source while the energy regenerator is being driven and connected to the wheel which is driven and connected to a pulley mechanism device mounted on the inner rim edge of the rear wheel and operating to regenerate energy for storage and usage in the battery bank source in response to the rotation of the connected and driven wheel.
- FIG. 1 illustrates the main primary steel structure revealing all of the positions, and there particular location.
- the steel frame will either be bolted or welded to the rear wheel assembly support structure to ensure that entire and or complete assembly will move up and down in unison at all times with the vehicle suspension system for a smooth and uninterrupted operation, for the sake of the complete charging system with a sway bar stabilizer affix to the frame for lateral balance.
- FIG. 1 illustrates the steel structural support frame.
- FIG. 1 illustrates the rear tire assembly equipped with the main primary pulley and v type belt to drive the charging system.
- FIG. 1 illustrates the lower belt adjusting plate assembly consisting of one-pulley belt guide and flat idler pulley.
- FIG. 1 illustrates the double pulley apparatus featuring the two v type belt junction is the main connecting points for a successful operation of the electric vehicle range extender charging system.
- FIG. 1 illustrates the upper belt adjusting plate assembly consisting of one idler pulley assembly that connects to both alternators by a v type belt.
- FIG. 1 illustrates alternator 1 mounted on the steel support frame with its pulley and connected to a flat idler pulley on the upper adjusting belt plate assembly in concert with alternator 2 , then a follow up connection to the dual secondary pulley FIG. 1 alternator 1 also provide the electrical connection output to the battery connection input, then alternator 1 input is received from the vehicle ignition selector switch battery output. Finally, the ground connection from alternator 1 is connected to the ground point at the battery.
- FIG. 1 illustrates alternator 2 mounted on the steel support Frame with its pulley and connected to a flat idler pulley on the upper adjusting belt plate assembly in concert with alternator 1 , then a follow up connection to the dual secondary of FIG. 1 , alternator 2 also provide the electrical connection output to the battery connection input, then the alternator input is received from the vehicle ignition selector switch battery output. Finally, the ground connection from alternator 2 is connected to the ground point at the battery.
- FIG. 1 illustrates the shock absorber mounted at the end of the steel support frame to assist in suppressing excessive vertical movement with concerns about the overall length and weight of the steel frame support structure.
- FIG. 2 illustrates the sway bar stabilizer mounted on the steel support frame to ensure the lateral balance of the steel support structure by placing the ninety degree sway bar in a recessed hole featuring a metal keyway apparatus on the trunk floor of the vehicle that allows the sway bar to move freely up and down with the motions of the entire supporting structure.
- the mode of operation come into play when and only when the electric vehicle moves forward. It works by using a sitting input voltage at the alternator windings coming from the battery circuits and ignition selector contact switch to the alternator, then outputs to the battery bank source provides a constant serge of regulated voltage and current flow as long as the electric vehicle is operating in a forward motion.
